Since the launch of the iPhone, PCs have been comparatively boring. Their designs are dull, you can’t rotate them around and poking the screen just leaves dirty marks.

ViewSonic 24 inch V3D241wm-LED 3D monitor: Desktop 3D without breaking the bank

After two previous 1680×1050 offerings for nVidia’s 3D solution, ViewSonic have skipped on a Full HD monitor for nVidia – something Acer, Alienware, ASUS, BenQ, LG and NEC have all done, and chosen Radeon as its 3DHD solution.
